So the greatest common factor 708,2655 is 177.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,3749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 701063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 177/701063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 708/187,2655/3749 is 177/701063
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 187,3749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,3749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,3749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,3749) = ( 187 × 3749 ) / 1
LCM(187,3749) = 701063 / 1
LCM(187,3749) = 701063
